T5 setups

I've got 2 48" t5 setups.

-Nova 48" extreme with bulbs. Only used for about 2 months. built in fan. 4 bulbs. 2 actinics 2 daylights. 4 led lunar lights. $150 +shipping

-Icecap 660. wiring harness. 4 sets of t5 endcaps and standoffs. 4 Icecap individual reflectors(i believe they are icecap). and I've got 4 bulbs, but for some reason 1 isn't working.
$150 + shipping.

on both fixtures I cannot gaurantee bulbs will make it, but will pack as best as possible!!!

I need to sell these so that I can buy my new light fixture. I've had both of these on my 75 reef and am growing everything from zoas to sps. I've got a couple of acros that have encrusted within the past month. I love these lights, but want the shimmering effect that comes with MH's.

these are the only pics I've got or can take as they're still being used on my tank. I will split the bulbs up so each set gets 2 daylight and 2 actinic. I've got it setup like this so that I can have my actinics and daylights come on at separate times.


full tank shot so you can see what they looked like on my tank.

to answer some questions. both of these work perfectly. I've been growing all my corals under it with no problem. when I switched from vho's to these t5's I actually melted away about half my corals. I was skeptical that t5s werent much stronger than vhos. well they are! I've kept acros under just the 4 t5s on the icecap but have added the nova fixture just to have more light. I've got it setup where the actinics are in the nova and the daylights are in the icecap retro that way the daylight has the single reflectors and can also be turned on at a later time. My tank is a 75. I would recommend either of these over a 55, 75, or maybe even a 90. if you are planning on doing acros and high light corals than I would do both over a 75 or 90.
Hope that answers the questions.
